Scenery, solace and seclusion can all be yours with this home located at 1909 Airway on 6.4 acres in Jerome Township and priced at $278,000. The home sits on a large parcel of land that includes its own pond, above ground pool and the river in the distance. Built in 1998 the 2,400-square-foot home has soaring ceilings and unique angles highlighted by up-to-date paint colors and furnishings.

As you approach the two-story home, you notice the varying roof lines and peaks adding to the architectural interest of the home. A large covered porch spans across the front of the home offering a nice outdoor seating area in the front as well as the back.

It’s when you open the front door though when you really get the wow factor. The living room is directly across from the front door in the two-story entrance, and the high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows are the first thing you notice. A fireplace is centered on the back wall and the windows surround it let you take in the full view of the property. On the day of our visit the leaves were just beautiful and it was like being outdoors while standing in the middle of the living room that measures 16-by-26-feet.

The kitchen and dining area is to the left of the living room with a whopping 16-by-24-foot kitchen complete with an abundance of cabinets and a huge pantry. There is also a half bath, laundry room and access to the three-car attached garage near the kitchen. The kitchen is divided from the dining area by a snack bar island with four bar stools. The hardwood floors are easy clean especially with the built-in vacuum system and broom sweep built in to the end of the island.

At the other end of the home is the master suite and private bath featuring double vanities and large soaking tub. The master measures 16-by-15-feet is carpeted and has good sized walk-in closets.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a full bath. The rooms are all good sized, two rooms measure 12-by-12-feet and the other 12-by-12-feet. The stairs leading upstairs are at the end of the living room. The angle of the stairway and the ceiling match, so it is visually interesting. The Wedgewood blue and chocolate brown combination on the walls makes it current and works well to accentuate the angles through out the room.

The lower level is a wood basement and partially finished into a family room measuring 20-by-21-feet. The walk-out basement gives you direct access to the outdoor living area, a two-level deck and above ground pool overlooking the pond in the backyard. The other areas of the basement have been outfitted with shelving and storage areas that would make Martha Stewart envious. Shelving in varying heights to accommodate bins, boxes and even plastic garbage cans filled with holiday lighting.

The property is beautiful and although the house is in a subdivision type setting the size of the parcel with over six acres makes it extremely private and you really can not see any neighbors from anywhere in the yard. The combination of trees, pond and pool make it a family friendly and I’m sure the family’s favorite summertime hangout.

Kevin says: This house is modern and upbeat and has some really unique lines. The living room and entrance is grand with the soaring ceilings and skylights. The paint colors that the homeowner has chosen are all current and makes the home very move in ready. The outdoor living area is like a vacation in your own backyard with the pool and the pond - it must be very nice in the summer. The bonus of course is the privacy and seclusion while being just minutes from town.

Lori says: There is no need to leave this property for a fall color tour — just look out of any of the many windows and you’ll see fall at its glory. The house has a wooded front for privacy from the road, and a jigsaw puzzle-worthy scene in the backyard — a big pond with a backdrop of mature trees that seem to go on forever. Inside windows are large and take full advantage of the private setting; window treatments for privacy are not needed.
